'Fairport Convention' History: 



Co-founded way back in 1967 by Simon Nicol and Ashley Hutchings, Fairport Convention is the most celebrated folk-rock band of all time. Such distinguished musicians as Sandy Denny – Richard Thompson Dave Mattacks – Iain Matthews and Dave Swarbrick have all done their bit over the years with the band – which is now in the safe hands (for acoustic performances) of Simon Nicol, Ric Sanders (joined in 1985), Chris Leslie (mid 90’s) and Gerry Conway, the celebrated percussionist. Today Fairport Convention still fill concert halls all over the world and their Cropredy Festival regularly attracts 20,000 fans every year.
